Being a mom keeps me busier than I have ever been in, well, pretty much my entire life. And it’s been a very long time since I’ve participated in a poetry challenge. But this one, y’all? It’s good. Really good. This one I could not pass up.
So here is my submission to Rebecca’s April poetry challenge over at Fake Flamenco.
************
How tragic that so many can see the
beauty in nature with all its diversity
and act to eradicate that same quality
in our shared humanity
as if we live separately – detached, isolated –
from the very earth that made us.
************
If you’d like to participate, as well, you’ve got until April 20th to post a poem of your own. I hope you do!

Best gift from Mom to me was her passing her (DNA) in creative writing. She wrote poems and I now sit pretty on some near 30 eBook and Paperbacks on Amazon Books. Thank you MOM.
